As people discovered yesterday, the newly released Nintendo Switch 2 is compatible with a variety of generic USB webcams for use with GameChat. That’s great for people who already have a webcam in their possession and don’t want to shell out for Nintendo’s official camera. What if you wanted to…
Sega has a hell of a stable of characters, ranging from Sonic the Hedgehog to the Dragon of Dojima. Somewhere closer to the latter though was a young kid whose courage got recognized by roosters, and set out to bring (good) morning back to the world. Billy Hatcher and the…
In a surprise update, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has a new stage for players to duke it out. Small Battlefield completes the Battlefield stage family! Technically the stage isn’t completely new, but it brings a new smaller area to fight in and some nice music perks too. That’s right! Outlined…

The Wonderful 101 is both my favorite game ever and a pretty difficult game to master. Of course, that doesn’t mean that people more skilled than me haven’t done just that. In fact, the version 1.0.2 update for the game brings an increase to the limit on the high scores…
Summer is in full swing, which means tank tops and outdoor activities, and it seems like the US Pokémon Center is getting in the spirit, too. You too can show off your love of Pokémon in the sun with some new tank tops and running tights, which feature five different…
